This short course introduces mediation as a key communication competence within the CEFR framework. It explores how mediation helps people build understanding, reduce misunderstandings, and communicate effectively across linguistic, cultural, and social differences.
Through practical examples and guided activities, participants will learn to apply mediation strategies such as summarising, paraphrasing, simplifying, and reformulating information in order to facilitate collaboration and shared understanding. The course also highlights the importance of mediation in promoting inclusive communication, active participation, and community engagement.
By the end of the course, learners will have developed greater awareness of their own communication style and gained practical tools to support effective interaction in academic, professional, and community settings.
